Kevin Horsley is a memory world-record holder.
He knows his stuff.
People like him often can’t teach, but I found this book very helpful.
In “Unlimited Memory,” Kevin Horsley teaches techniques to improve memory. This book is practical.
It avoids jargon. The focus is on methods you can use immediately.

It also comes in the form of an audiobook, but the techniques Kevin Horsley teaches are mostly visual, so you will often find yourself hearing: “please check the accompanying document”.

You need to make it work.
